Don't need to wait for it to be warm to have the roof down - or, at 7 seconds to get the roof up, consistently dry. In fact, so long as you don't stop, you hardly get wet with the roof down in the rain anyway.

Enjoy!

I once braved the rain and kept the roof down - i was on the motorway and so felt quite smug about not getting wet. Then traffic stopped to a crawl around 20mph - too fast to put the roof up, too slow to stay dry. Not smug anymore...

This is not to say that i learnt anything! Roof down always!*


*keep a waterproof handy if the weather isn't great though...

Sounds like you need to have a search for the open/close roof while driving mod

Well just got back after picking it up over 7 hours ago. It's bloody good fun I've never been happier to only get 130 miles from half a tank of petrol in my life, and don't get me started on the vtec switch over!
